Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Horticulture
  • Irrigation

His scientific interests lie mostly in Botany, Irrigation, Horticulture, Stomatal conductance and Osmoregulation. His Botany study focuses mostly on Cultivar and Photosynthesis. Juan José Alarcón undertakes interdisciplinary study in the fields of Irrigation and Deficit irrigation through his research.

Many of his studies involve connections with topics such as Irrigation scheduling and Horticulture. Juan José Alarcón combines subjects such as Ecophysiology, Chlorophyll and Antioxidant with his study of Stomatal conductance. His Osmoregulation research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Osmotic pressure and Agronomy.

His most cited work include:

  • High temperature effects on photosynthetic activity of two tomato cultivars with different heat susceptibility. (318 citations)
  • Use of treated municipal wastewater in irrigated agriculture—Review of some practices in Spain and Greece (314 citations)
  • Response of antioxidant systems and leaf water relations to NaCl stress in pea plants (254 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Horticulture, Irrigation, Botany, Agronomy and Deficit irrigation. The study of Horticulture is intertwined with the study of Transpiration in a number of ways. His work carried out in the field of Irrigation brings together such families of science as Water resources, Reclaimed water, Orchard and Stomatal conductance.

His research investigates the connection with Stomatal conductance and areas like Chlorophyll which intersect with concerns in Normalized Difference Vegetation Index. His work on Greenhouse, Crop yield and Fertilizer as part of general Agronomy study is frequently linked to Phosphorus, bridging the gap between disciplines. Juan José Alarcón has researched Turgor pressure in several fields, including Osmotic pressure, Dehydration and Antioxidant.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Horticulture (50.00%)
  • Irrigation (49.17%)
  • Botany (35.00%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Irrigation (49.17%)
  • Reclaimed water (25.83%)
  • Agronomy (33.33%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Juan José Alarcón focuses on Irrigation, Reclaimed water, Agronomy, Deficit irrigation and Horticulture. His work on Drip irrigation as part of general Irrigation research is frequently linked to Arid, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. His study in Reclaimed water is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Water resource management and Stomatal conductance.

His studies in Stomatal conductance integrate themes in fields like Biomass, Vegetative reproduction and Saline water. His Greenhouse, Crop yield and Crop study, which is part of a larger body of work in Agronomy, is frequently linked to Glomus iranicum, bridging the gap between disciplines. His studies deal with areas such as Sugar, Denitrification, Botany and Irrigation scheduling as well as Horticulture.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Long-term physiological and agronomic responses of mandarin trees to irrigation with saline reclaimed water (44 citations)
  • Combined effects of reduced irrigation and water quality on the soil microbial community of a citrus orchard under semi-arid conditions. (43 citations)
  • Effects of saline reclaimed waters and deficit irrigation on Citrus physiology assessed by UAV remote sensing (38 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Botany
  • Irrigation
  • Horticulture

Juan José Alarcón mostly deals with Agronomy, Reclaimed water, Irrigation, Stomatal conductance and Deficit irrigation. His research in Agronomy tackles topics such as Photosynthesis which are related to areas like Fertigation. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Water quality and Water resources.

His Stomatal conductance study incorporates themes from Vegetative reproduction, Chlorophyll and Soil salinity. His Deficit irrigation investigation overlaps with other areas such as Horticulture, Saline and Cold storage. His Horticulture study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Botany and Drainage.
